suitably reprimanded - your reaction?

[chastised]

this happened in a public play area.
i was on the side talking to another mum and not on top of what was happening (my fault).

all i hear later is my 3 yr old saying, 'no, no that's mine" .. to another little girl.

her mum was remarking very loudly (for my obvious benefit) to my daughter that if she had asked nicely and not taken her daughter's toys (public property, not hers) without asking, her daughter wouldn't be grabbing them all back.

i was too flabbergasted to comment at that point but was thinking:  
"sure yes, taking without asking was definitely wrong, but your daughter has been amassing all the available toys anyway ..."

how would other mums have reacted under the same situation?

I would have said in an equally loud voice (for the other mother's benefit) "some children aren't taught how to share sweetie, never mind.  Why don't you play with so and so's toys?"

[Better man]

Smile, relax say nothing, enjoy the fact the other lady is bringing up a monster.
confrontation would only serve to get you even more heated!
think about what the kid will be doing in a few years time...
Smile and enjoy the fact you are a better parent than the other person.

[ohno]

No. Never take such a passive stand. Always speak your mind. Stand up and be counted. And atleast your daughter was speaking up for herself. Dont discourage her. Dont make her a doormat.
